We are sending them money to live on right now... told them not to use the credit cards! They are still trying to pay off their lossesses from Huricane Wilma! They got flooded out in the Keys then! He got some of their clothes out a few days ago. I told him last night to get his friend over there with him ASAP and get their clothes out.. I hope he does that... everything else they can replace. They got the TV, stero and some other things out before the storm.. took them with them in a small trailer.. he also took all his work tools... that was a smart move. They were planning on packing more the day before the hurricane arrived but the water started rising over 22 hours before its arrival and they had to leave long before planned. The house was on the water... just inland on the island. Here is a pic beside the house... doesn't look that bad in the picture but there used to be a big covered deck with staris at the far end and the opening on the side had a deck and an A/C unit before. It is now open toward the water.. there used to be a big covered pavillion where they had outdoor furniture and did cookouts and enjoyed the water. that pile of debris is 5 ft high in most places.. it is the remains of all the other homes in the area that were completely destroyed. They had to bulldoze the street just to get to the house. One wall is off the foundation and the opposite wall on the other side of the house only has studs remaining.. no outside siding or sheetrock in place. The inside stairs going upstairs are gone too. Will send a before pic also
